Research Interests: My main research interests span a spectrum of environmental toxicology and vector biology to protect agriculture, animal and human health in environmentally safe, sustainable and affordable ways. I am particularly interested in the following areas of interdisciplinary research: (1) vector biology investigations using arthropod vector models, (2) adverse effects of insecticide exposure on humans and other non-target organisms, (3) mode of action and neurophysiological effects of natural and synthetic insecticides, (4) genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of insecticide resistance in arthropod pests, and (5) biochemical and molecular diagnostics using high throughput enzyme assays and SNP detections for pest management.
